It's Really Different When You Grow Up

Knowing things as a child is one thing Growing up is however different I remember friends I remember having dreams I remember having nightmares I remember wanting to be a kid forever And times when I could not wait to grow up, because I did not want to have a bedtime anymore There were days when I picked to be twenty-one, sixteen, thirteen, or twelve forever I would watch others who were older than me and admire the perks of their age It’s really different when you grow up You just remember Remember wanting to be twelve, thirteen, sixteen, and twenty-one I like those memories there things I hold dear to myself
